Do subcontractors need to pull permits for commercial jobs?
A. No. The general contractor pulls the permit and lists the subcontractors (plumber, electrician, mechanical contractor) that will be working on the project. The subcontractors will, however, need to be registered to work in the Town. See the Commercial Construction Packet & Contractor Registration Form. If a subcontractor is doing work after the main permit (the permit issued to the general contractor) has been finaled, then the subcontractor would need to pull a separate permit. For more information on commercial construction, Commercial Builders Packet or contact Building Inspections at 972.874.6355.
